Adonalsium split into sixteen pieces, referred to as Shards of Adonalsium, each taking a particular facet, or intent, of the greater power of Adonalsium. Sixteen people took up those Shards, becoming the first [[Vessel]]s and effectively ascending into godhood. Hoid and [[the Recipient]] knew these sixteen people prior to their Ascension, as they were familiar with their original names.{{epigraph ref|sa1|23}}{{epigraph ref|sa2|69}}{{epigraph ref|sa2|70}} Some of these individuals and the Shard they took up are: [[Aona]] ([[Devotion]]), [[Skai]] ([[Dominion]]), [[Ati]] ([[Ruin]]), [[Leras]] ([[Preservation]]), [[Tanavast]] ([[Honor]]), [[Rayse]] ([[Odium]]), [[Bavadin]] ([[Autonomy]]), [[Edgli]] ([[Endowment]]), and [[Uli Da]] ([[Ambition]]). There is one more known Shard, [[Cultivation]], whose Vessel is female but otherwise unknown.
It was not random who took up the Shards,{{wob ref|5490}} and there was some sort of design in the way Adonalsium was split.{{wob ref|9956}}
